#2It's too bad this is probably going to be flagged to death (or at least off the front page).
Of all the articles about Xinjiang and Chinese human rights issues, this is one of rare ones that's right up HN's alley, because of its focus on the details of the technology of mass surveillance.

Or it could be just the security warnings when opening the page
Edit: The error was coming from the office filtering.

What security warnings? I'm not seeing any in the US with Chrome or Firefox.
Or are you talking about the Great Firewall, which unsurprisingly appears to be blocking the Human Rights Watch website:

What I'm getting on Firefox:
Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.
Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust www.hrw.org because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

I went to the page, it's blocked by the office network (as Advocacy Organizations), the warning was put there because the web filtering uses a certificate with a different name from the web site.
